Over the course of May 29 to June 2, Miami was inundated with a slew of swimwear-related events, shows and parties, bringing to the city a vast array of established and emerging brands. One of these collective events was Miami Swim Week The Shows, an event owned and managed by the DCSW group, an organisation that also carries out a similar ‘The Shows’ event during New York Fashion Week.
This year, the occasion played host to over 60 runways, many of which were hosted by emerging labels that, for the most part, were making their swim week debut. As such, the platform serves an important role in providing these young brands with the opportunity to speak to a new crowd. Here are some that contributed to both MSW’s missions of sustainability and diversity.
